ICD-10 Code I69.264 – Other paralytic syndrome following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage affecting left non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.264 – Other paralytic syndrome following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage affecting left non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies residual paralysis or weakness affecting the left non-dominant side after a prior nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. Use it for late effects, not the acute bleed.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include hemiparesis, hemiplegia, or other persistent motor deficit on the left non-dominant side. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact neurologic deficit.
When to use this code
Use I69.264 when the record documents a past nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage and a continuing paralytic syndrome affecting the left non-dominant side. It is appropriate for sequelae visits, rehabilitation follow-up, or chronic neurologic deficit management. Confirm laterality and dominance in the chart before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for the acute hemorrhage itself or for transient weakness without a documented residual deficit. Check documentation if the side, dominance, or cause of paralysis is unclear.
Coding tip
Always code the residual deficit from the sequela diagnosis, and sequence the history of hemorrhage only when documentation supports it.
